The seeker receives a magnificent sword from the sword master.

To act decisively is to act with certainty from inner knowing, destroying what is past for what can be.

Discrimination should be a sword to cut through blocks and ambivalence, separating out the possible from the impossible. Know when the time is right, darlings, to use the sword of action and when to keep it sheathed. Too much cutting destroys the ground up on which the new must exist. Yet once you have drawn the blade of choice, act with no turning back.

What we chose is what we become and we shall always be known far more by our choices than by what we say. Are you using your choicemaking power just for yourself or for a greater purpose? Are you usingchoicemaking to break your compulsions, in order to free life energy? What is the one choice you make in each everyday choice?

Your task is to commit fully to dealing with the consequences of your choices. Choose a purpose greater than what you have so far achieved, and serve it.

"I am the seasoned traveler
Of the Labyrinth.
The genius of alacrity,
Wizard of the impossible.
My brilliance is yet unmatched
In its originality.
My heart's filled with potent magic
That could cast a hundred spells.
I am put together
For mine own pleasure.

I am the Monkey."

Seems pretty apt.

THE RULES: As a general rule, and most of you already know this, I prefer annonymous comments on this blog. Here is where I like to talk more "idea to idea" than person to person. I've got another journal wherein I get all personally chatty, but here I like the idea of ideas being separate from the contructs/biases/"personalities" behind them. Because those things color us all, don't they? Anyway, it's not a hard and fast rule, so feel free to comment however you like. Caro can never help giving herself away and, of course, Aspyre is always welcome to comment with identity because when Ladarna and Aspyre talk, it has always been idea to idea anyway. :)
